WASHINGTON, DC: Rep. Andy Harris, M.D. (MD-01) announced the award of a more than $57 million federal contract to three military contractors across the country, including Hardwire, LLC, located in Pocomoke City. The contract will provide the Army with Small Arms Protective Inserts hard armor plates to support Foreign Military Sales requirements. Two other armor manufacturers, one in Florida and one in Kansas, were also selected to receive portions of the contract award. For Hardwire, work will be performed in Pocomoke City and is expected to be completed by 2025.
Hardwire has developed and fielded armor to protect against a variety of threats, including small firearms and improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
Rep. Andy Harris made the following statement:
“I congratulate Hardwire for winning part of this $57 million contract, which was competitively awarded by the U.S. Army. This is a significant contract for an important local employer that will contribute to our economy on the Eastern Shore. In recent months, Hardwire has been manufacturing face shields to respond to the demand from the Coronavirus pandemic. This local company and its employees should be proud of the work they do to protect American men and women who serve in harm’s way on a daily basis.”

Bullet proff back pacs for kids..
If you "appreciate" Harris you will get this.
Does this sound familiar?
Positive news for the eastern shore - REGARDLESS if you can get a job with them or not.
Positive is good these days and comes few and far between.
What happened to the FUN days of making fun of OUR weatherman DAN????
"Partly sunny highs in the mid 80s!"
HAHAHAHAHAHAH
Thanks Andy! Great job!
It is nice to see a local politician who is business friendly. I hear Jake Day (who is anti-business) wants Andy's seat. Forget it Jake.
Do not forget to vote for Andy this November. We need more representatives like him.

Andy Harris didn't submit the bid, Hardwire did it Mr. King. Not to take anything away from Andy but he is getting praised for something out of his hands.
Harris should run for Governor. Any chance?
Harris taking care of his friends. They make MILLIONS. Hire 50 employees. Brilliant. Time to go doc.
Hey 6:29, why hot bring one your little left wing puppets to the table and try to defeat Doc and ruin the Eastern Shore great way of life???????
Hardwire has been milking the taxpayers for these silly grants. What's up with that Andy?? Something smells fishy here, Andy Harris.
